Transatlantic Studies

Atlantic Studies: Literary, Cultural and Historical Perspectives
(MESEA) - 'Atlantic Studies provides an international forum for research and debate on historical, cultural and literary issues arising within the new disciplinary matrix of the circumatlantic world. In particular, it seeks to foster a transcultural dialogue between the two hemispheres and, specifically, among the nations of Europe, the Americas and Africa. The Journal aims to celebrate the original Atlantic mappemonde: a highly critical space, centered not on a single nation or land mass but on a new cosmopolitan interchange of ships and peoples, cultures and texts, ideas and tools. Published on behalf of MESEA (The Society for Multi-Ethnic Studies: Europe and the Americas), the Journal aims to be an important site for scholarship on the comparative study of multi-ethnic cultures and societies. It challenges nationalist histories and literatures by focusing on the Atlantic as an arena of cultural change and exchange, translation and interference, communication and passage.'

Comparative American Studies: An International Journal

International Journal of Maritime History
'The IJMH is the Journal of the International Maritime Economic History Association. It is a fully-refereed publication for researchers concerned with the economic and social history of the merchant marines, shipbuilding, fishing, ports, trade and maritime societies.'

Itinerario: European Journal of Overseas History
(Leiden University) - 'Itinerario welcomes submissions dealing with comparative dimensions of European Expansion and cultural interaction world-wide. Articles from historians, ethno-historians, literary critics, and anthropologists, writing comparatively about any dimension of either the establishment of or the responses to it are welcome. Over the years Itinerario has developed into a journal concerned primarily with history; to be more exact, the history of European Overseas Expansion.'

Moving Worlds: A Journal of Transcultural Writings
(University of Leeds) - 'Moving Worlds is a forum for creative work as well as criticism, literary as well as visual texts, writing in scholarly as well as more personal modes, in English and translations into English. It is open to experimentation, and represents work of different kinds and from different cultural traditions. It reappraises acknowledged achievements and promotes fresh talent. Its central concern - the transcultural - is the movement of cultures across national boundaries, and the productive transformations resulting from these crisscrossings. Its outreach is regional, national and international, that is, towards the diversity and richness of global/local communites.'

Symbiosis, a Journal of Anglo-American Literary Relations
'SYMBIOSIS is a peer-reviewed Journal indexed by the MLA. It bridges the institutional divide between literatures in English on either side of the Atlantic, a divide recognized by few creative writers. Playing a leading part in the modern revival of transatlantic perspectives, SYMBIOSIS is the only Journal uniquely concerned with studies of literary and cultural relations between the British Isles and the Americas. It publishes articles concerned with all periods of transatlantic relations, since the beginnings of Anglophone America, and representing all theoretical perspectives. '
